full of howl-inducing inaccuracies, generalizations, and implications that Microsoft-based computers are the end-all-be-all of computing. But I'll bet they'll contain hackneyed comparisons like "the CPU--or (spoken slowly) Central Processing Unit--is the brains of a computer".

Oy! I rather hope these are soon-to-be-available on YouTube for our entertainment.

"Hi, I'm Bill Gates, and this is a computer. To run a computer, you must have software that tells the computer what to do. The most important software is the operating system that controls every aspect of the computer's operation."

"Windows is an operating system created by Microsoft, the company I founded. So let's put Windows on this computer. Now let's make few adjustments to Windows so that our competition's programs won't run on it any more. Now let's sit back and let the money pour in." (At this point dollar bills start showering down on Bill.)

"Let's make it better. Let's cut deals with computer manufacturers so that Windows is the only operating system they will install on their products. Now even more money pours in." (The shower of dollar bills increases.)

"Now let's charge hundreds of dollars for Microsoft products, because only our software will run on our operating system. Boy, are we making money now!" (The torrent of money buries Bill up to his neck.)

"And now I'm one of the richest people on earth. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how computers work."

where Bill explains how to evade paying taxes by transferring money to a foundation where it is still totally controlled by you and your next of kin, and then have that foundation invest that money in companies you hold shares of, at the same time getting kissed your ass by the media who now praise you as being a "philanthropist"...

Hey, it's Alaska Airlines, maybe they can get some old clips of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens explaining how the Internet is a "series of tubes", as the next step in their curriculum toward a highly-valued certificate in "Understanding Computers Via Inappropriate Metaphors".

I notice that almost nobody has actually looked at the videos, they are fine. If your knowledge of computers extends little further than using a cell phone then they are quite informative. They even have Vint Cerf explaining DNS. There is no Microsoft angle and there are plenty of young and hip designers and coders explaining stuff.

So why post *political* viewpoints without bothering to look at the evidence? You are no more nerds than Facebook is likely to win a Nobel science prize.
